All Tiffen filters are made of quality cut glass. very competitive to Hoya.

There are LOTS of lens filter manufacturers out there, but the key requirement is quality glass, ground FLAT. You spend a good deal of money on a Nikon lens; to have it deliver the quality you paid for, don't put a cheap filter that may distort the light coming in--stick with either Nikon proprietary lens filters, or B&W.

the curvature of the glass makes it so you can't use a filter. But there are other wide angle lenses that do allow you touse a filter. My Tokina 11-16mm uses filters.

Robert, no. For that lens you need the 58mm thread. Unfortunately Fuji has not standardized there filter threads, so it can be a pain getting different sized filters, but that is the case for now. You will love this filter. They make very good glass.

The glass is glass. If this is the same knock-off brand that I bought, the fit is a bit different than the original. But, of course, your not buying original equipment.

I don't own that lens, but from some reading around it appears that regular filters are fine; however, I will make note that circular polarizers on a wide angle will produce very strange results due to uneven polarization. That may or may not be a concern depending if you want to use it for creative effect.

No. It is only telephoto or polarized. You can put the circular polarizer part on the telephoto lens OR the other Olloclip 4 in 1 Wide angle or Fisheye lens (which is sold separately)

glass filters (high optical glass), yes, you can turn them for effect, and I am pretty sure the rings are a very good plastic. They are light weight, each come in their own plastic case.

Yes! The quality is not amazing, however its perfect size and I love the original filter. You won't be disappointed. :) I used it for my wedding instead of a photo booth and everyone loved it

Art filters are special effects applied by the camera in software. A circular polarizer would be a hardware filter, which could be screwed in once the lens cover is remove. But the lens barrel is not marked with a filter diameter.

Panasonic circular polarizer filter DMW-LPL46 (46mm) is a really nice polarizer ( I have it). It sells for about $75.00. I also have a Tiffin red enhancing filter for fall foliage ( you don't really need this one, I just like to use it for the maples around here). You might also consider a neutral density filter from B+W, HOYA, or another good brand .

It doesn't come with a filter (lens).It's basically a frame to hold a 55mm lens of your choice.Some people use nd (neutral density) filters. I use a circular polarizer.What do you need it for?It's your choice

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

The short answer is you need both. Circular Polarizers allow you to control glare and light diffusion - in other words, when you turn the filter, you can darken the image or lighten the image, as well as reducing glare from reflections or increase the "blue" in the sky as well, among other things. If you're going to take outside pictures in daylight - especially around reflective surfaces such as glass, metal or water - then having one of this is critical. However, Circular Polarizers (when rotated properly) will slow your lens down by 1-2 stops, so you only want to use them in brightly lit situations where glare, etc., is present. UV filters originally reduced ultraviolet coming into the lens in order to cut down or eliminate a "blue cast" on film, as well as to protect the very expensive "glass" at the front of your lens from getting scratches from constant cleaning. UV has long stopped being a problem, so now these filters are used primarily to protect the glass at the front of your expensive lens. They keep dirt, dust, finger oil and debris from touching your actual lens, so you never have to clean the lens itself... which means your lens will never develop scratches. UV filters are cheap to replace (by comparison to lenses and Circular Polarizers). They don't affect the speed of your lens, nor do they affect the color your lens "sees". I would suggest, though, that you get a good multicoated UV filter so ghosting and other reflective problems don't occur. All Circular Polarizers are already multicoated, so that's not a problem with them.

They are glass filters. Nice case for them also. I do not use them with a SLR but I use them for aerial photography with a GoPro which makes them a bit heavy with a gimbal but still usable.

I bought these as a gift so I don't know personally. The Tiffen website say this about the 52MM VARIABLE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER: "Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen's ColorCore technology". B & H photo says this under the description of the Tiffen 52mm 3.0 Neutral Density Filter: "This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings."

I cannot speak to what the company's normal practices are, but my 58mm polarizer came in an oversized case. I have never purchased any other case for the filter. It seems to get the job done.
